US pauses offshore wind projects over security concerns
The US pauses offshore wind projects over security concerns, affecting Dominion Energy's project in Virginia and four others near the Atlantic coastline. Concerns about radar interference and national security risks lead the Department of the Interior to halt these projects. While renewable energy companies and state leaders oppose the decision, the Trump administration has long criticized wind energy, with Interior Secretary Doug Burgum stating wind farms have no future in the US energy grid.
